Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.perfectsoundforever.com>, you'll find (among other things):
FLIPPER
Live Punk Blow Out by Chrisopher J. Laramee
"This this double album is a collection of songs recorded between 1980 and 1985. Also, my preference for their live stuff over the studio albums is no slur on those fine slices of wax (GENERIC being a stone cold all-time winner), it's just my opinion that the live experience illuminates the Flipper thang the brightest. The fine folks at 4 Men With Beards have kept this in print so go buy it if you dig it. And do yourself a favour and get it on the double vinyl version for full impact."
REGGAE & THE PUNK LEGACY
the Women's Story by Helen McCookerybook
"At the core of British punk music and the punk subculture in the 1970's was the concept of subversion, and the punk women in the London punk environment who formed and joined bands exercised a double subversion: not only the subversion associated with the subculture itself, but also a subversion of sounds normally associated with ‘male’ music making in the pop and rock arenas. If you listen to music by The Slits and The Raincoats, for instance, they do have their own 'sound,' with space, vocal harmonies and clear and distinctive bass-lines to the forefront."
We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
See you online,
Jason
